Here are some fun facts you may not have known:

The concept of the water heater has been around since 1868, though it hasn't always been as complicated. The first water heater consisted of a pipe, some cold water, and a gas flame. The cold water ran through the pipe, which was heated by the flame before being dumped into a tub or sink.

Energy, energy, energy! Your gas or electric water heater will use about 25% of your home's electricity just to heat it! This is why a quality high-efficiency unit is a must!

In most of the United States, unheated water will enter the home at an average of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. During Arizona summers, the temperature reaches up to 80 degrees! Yes, We live in a natural hot water heater! If your water comes hot through your tap, even with the cold faucet on, it might be because of the temperature outside. Our winter visitors are often shocked by this occurrence!

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was the first area in the United States to have water heaters as a standard in-home feature.

Rather than individual water heaters, homes in Finland receive their hot water from a central heating plant in the middle of each city!

Before modern water heaters, homes would heat their water through a pipe loop called a water-back. It was connected to the stove and moved heated water to a separate holding tank.

In the U.K., water heaters are called multipoint geysers.

Since the beginning of the century, the water heater industry has gone from having nearly 150 key manufacturers, to only a small handful today.

Life expectancy of a water heater in AZ is lower than most places. Lifespan averages 6-8 years here in the desert.

By choosing an "energy efficient" water heater, you could cut your home's energy use by 10 to 30 percent!

Human skin can suffer 3rd-degree burns after just five seconds of exposure to water that is 140 degrees Fahrenheit or more. Make sure you are very careful around your gas or electric water heater!

In England and other places with older homes, it is common to find sinks with separate taps for hot water and for cold. That's because, in the early days of heated plumbing, hot water came from a separate tank, which could easily be contaminated. That meant heated water was often unsafe to drink, and cold water was kept away from the tank for safety. Not to worry though, your water heater is safe to drink from! (Though who would want to in this heat?)

Though they are expected to last longer and are more energy efficient, a tankless water heater can cost up to twice as much as traditional gas or electric heater.

Things like back-to-back showers or multiple loads of laundry can lead to something that industry people refer to as a "cold water sandwich." Meaning that there are multiple layers of hot and cold water built up inside your pipes!
